I have tried to list all the deals I see for CVS starting 4/05.There are a couple of free things and then lots of other deals that make things good prices.I’ve given you scenarios for most of the deals involving more than one product.

Scroll down for this week’s Grand Plan Scenario.

If you are new to “CVSing” and the Extracare Buck system before trying to decipher all of this go read the getting started guide.

My Grand Plan.This is my plan for CVS this week using coupons and ECB that I already have.I tried to use ECB that most of you would have gotten from last weeks deals.If you are just starting you can start with #1 too you will just pay a little more cash to get started.

Where do you get the $120 Savings booklet. I have seen that listed quite a bit and I am not sure where to get it or even if I can still get it. I really appreciate the hard work you put into this for us. Your deal scenarios are really helpful to me. Thanks!

Jenny

Emily – The rebate $120 Savings Booklet was a rebate deal that Procter and Gamble did in January. You had to mail off receipts for it and they are no longer offering it. Sorry.

Becky

Don’t forget about the $5 off Huggies coupons. I still have quite a few with expiration dates after 4/05. You could buy 3 packs at $30, use 3 $5 coupons, pay $15, Get 10 ECBs. Or two packs ($20) and 2 Johnsons products ($6), use 2 $5 off coupons for Huggies and 2 $1 off coupons for Johnsons, pay $14, get 10 ECBs. I hope some other people still have them too. I had several friends print them off for me, thank goodness.

Jock

So will CVS let you use the same coupon for the same product in the same trasaction? Many of the coupons say one per……
Just a question from a newbie.

Jenny

Jock,
If it is a CVS coupon like the $2 off 24.7 products you will probably only be able to use one coupon. If it is a manufacturer coupon you can use as many in the same transaction as you have products for. If it says one per purchase that really means one per item. If says one per transaction/customer then that would mean only one (though the computer will accept manufacturer coupons without problems if you have more than one of that coupon). Does that make sense?

Julieann

This would also be a week to get the Natural Dentist mouth rinse and use 2- $2 coupons, get $8 in ecb’s and send in for the $10 rebate.

Holly

I wanted to let you know the scanners are spitting out some $10/$20 cosmetic purchase q’s pair nicely with CG deal.

There are also Nivea $2/1 q’s in store in a display.

Christy

I was at CVS yesterday and could not find the ALL & WELL booklet. Where is that at? IS it a CVS booklet?

Jenny

The All Well & Good booklet was at Publix but most coupons have now expired. The coupons to find at CVS are the reinventing Beauty Magazine coupons.

Angela

I have coupons for $3/off $15,$4 off 20.00 and $5 off $25.00 printed from the website. expires 4/5. Would cvs let me use all the coupons if i do three separate transaction?

Angela

Where’s the Nivea $2/q display at?

Holly

Hope you have a good vacation. Well I have added CVS this week, now that I have Publix down to a art with your help. This was a good week. Last week I used my card to swipe at CVS and I got at the bottom of my ticket $25gift card with a new prescription printed. My son has seasonal asthma and off to the Dr. I go. I walk out with 5 new prescriptions lots of samples and coupons for our meds. I didn’t get a sample of his nose spray but had a coupon for my fill to be free. I took to CVS, gave them the script, the free coupon, and the $25 print from last week. So I got the free prescription plus the $25 gift card and printed a $4 of 20. I was estatic. So, for my first CVS experience was a good one. Now I can get rolling with some ECB and free products.

kathy

Jenny,
If I follow your “Deal idea” and use RR of last week.
Do I need to have a filler item cause I do have Manufactor Q? Thank you.

Jennifer

I sent off for my coupon booklet but still haven’t received it. From the sounds of it, everyone already has theirs so I guess I am out of luck :(

Deborah

Thanks so much, Jenny! Your Grand Plan is a big help to me this week and I appreciate all that you do for us.

Emily

Where do you find the Reinventing Beauty magazine? I have yet to spot it. Is it a free type of booklet, maybe?

Holly

Hello. My cvs doesnt have a clue what the Reinventing Beauty magazine is either. any help?

Holly

Emily,
The Reinventing Beauty is at CVS I had to ask where they have it, because our store had them in the beauty area.I think different stores have them in different places. It is $.99. Hope this helps

When I went to my CVS at 2pm today (Apr 4) they were already honoring the April 5th sales so I got a head start! I bought the Neutrogena products and Chloraseptic Gel first and when the Neutrogena ECB did not print they gave me store $5 credit. Then I bought diapers and baby products using other coupons. I got $72 of products for $34 not counting the $10 ECB I’m taking back tomorrow for more baby products. My CVS does not take competitors coupons or I could have saved an additional $5.50 but I can’t complain. Thanks, Jenny! Also, I think Publix has the Chloraseptic GEl for $10.99 regular price and the Walgreen’s rebate book has a coupon for $3/off – I’ll look tomorrow.

Jessi

Good deal for pad users… stayfree with wings is on sale for 2.25 (18 pack) and with coupons of $2/2 and the $2 ECB that print out with each pack, you are making a profit out of these.. I just got 4

paid around $6
got back 8 ECB in return
made a $2 profit

Moneymaker!!!!!!

Jen

Do pull up coupons work for Huggies Diapers?

Teri

There is a $5 rebate on Zaditor which I found at CVS.

Lauren

Ha! I found the RIB magazine at the front of the store with the sale papers. I brought it home then I read Holly’s message about it being 99c. I was feeling like a thief until I realized that all the coupons said “expired 12/31/08!” They were the ones from last fall. God protects me even in my stupidity!

Crystal

new to cvs”ing” Can you use 2 coupons on buy one get one free items at cvs? I know if the items ring up half price most other places I shop take 2 coupons, but I don’t know about cvs, please help!!

Tammi

I just tried to print out coupons from mycokerewards for $1.00 off 12 pack. When I go to print the coupon it says the campaign was over. I wanted to use the coupon this week at CVS. Has anyone else had a problem?

Leslie

I, too, tried to get a coupon from mycokerewards.com which I have done numerous times in the past. Unfortunately, it will deduct 35 points from your balance and then send you a link to a coupon who’s campaign has ended. I tried contacting customer service to inquire if there was anything that could be done to fix it and I get an error everytime I submit my question. I guess I won’t be buying cokes this week.

Michele

I cannot get the Allie coupon to print for love nor money. I have registered, tried to print, and I get “you coupons are printing, please do not close this window” but the coupon never prints. No problem with my printer at all and I do have the coupon printer installed. Any other way to get this coupon? I’ve tried several times and I REALLY want this one!!!

angela

I just went to CVS this morning and purchased 2 of the Easter grass. It did not print out my ECB. I went back inside and the manager did it by hand. It printed out for $2.00 instead of $1.58! So I made a little profit!!

Erica

Tammi, I had that same problem with my coke rewards and it was the first time I tried to print that coupon.

I had a really bad experience at CVS this morning. I was buying 2 packages of Huggies and 2 J&J products. I had 2 of the $3.00 off printables for the Natural Fit Huggies left over from last month and 2 $1.00 off J&J printables linked on here. They said they couldn’t take any of the printables from the veri-Fi site because last month their website had been compromised and per corporate policy will no longer accept them period. Has anyone had this issue? I’m going to contact corporate.

angela

Erica,

They let me use the $5.00 and the $3.00 Printables this morning. Sorry you had trouble with it.

MiniMidgMom

I guess I didn’t read the fine print – I went back today to do the diaper special and the ECB is one per household. I still got a good deal because I had yesterday’s $10 ECB and coupons for the baby shampoo but I thought one per household meant per day, not per campaign. I got the J&J baby shampoo for $2/bottle compare to $3.57/bottle at Target (The one I use is not available in generic yet). But don’t waste your coupon on the Desitin. It is $2.00 per 2 ounce tube with $1/off coupon, but if you use generic and live near a Target you can get their generic version of both types of Desitin for less than $2 per 4 ounce tube (our stores here sell it for $1.67 to $1.87/tube). I got caught with that one yesterday. I’m a NICU nurse and picky about diaper creams and I love the Target version of Desitin.

Natalie

I had fun with the Pringles. They are on sale for $0.88 and there is a coupon for $1.00 off two! Good deal!

Dale

Anyone else had a problem with B1G1 at CVS and using 2 coupons. I had 2 -$4 on schick intuition and they were on sale for the B1G1—the asst. mgr would not take both coupons “because the other one is free already”
And …got stirred up so forgot to ask if I was going to get coupon for the free Crest with purchase of P&G product or if I just got it off the shelf.uggh

Amy

Leslie, I did the same thing with mycokerewards. It takes your points but it says the campaign is over for the coupon. I tried to submit a report and mine says it can’t be submitted. So now we are short 35 points!!! Ugh!

Amy

Leslie, I was just able to contact the coca cola website through their main site. This link is for questions about the mycokerewards program.

I had trouble with mycokerewards too. Tried to “buy” the coupon & it deducted my points, but could never get it to print. In fact, I got some sort of virus warning that was a pain to get rid of when I tried to print it… :(
Anyone else get that?

Christina

Ijust recently signd up with CVS card and I have not received my $4 off $20 coupon by email. Where else could it be?

Emily

I got the same mycokerewards error. I already had one coupon I had printed last week but doing it yesterday got the error. I called the telephone number on the “confirmation” email that my reward was on its way and left a message about my problem. Haven’t heard back on it yet. Will keep you posted.

I got a great deal with the diaper promotion yesterday! Bought two packs of diapers and one of the wipes for a total of $25. Used a $5 off $25 purchase, two $5 coupons and one $3 coupon – Had me paying $7 and I got $10 back in ECB! I was so excited!

Stacie

I’m so excited! I have two $5 off coupons for Huggies!!!! I can’t remember where I got them, but I printed them off online! Soooooo EXCITED!!

holly

Excedrin 20-24 count is on sale for 1.99 this week and can’t you use the Excedrin printable to make it free?

Tiffney

where to get the 120 booklet???

Jenny

Tiffney,
Those booklets were a rebate program that P&G ran earlier this year. you had to submit receipts to them and they mailed you a booklet. They are no longer running the promotion though.

lynn

here in npr florida the cvs easter grass ecb are printing out at 1$ per bag so you are making money on it plus here you can get 2 per transaction because the have to print ecb out seperatly so if you need more than 2 you are making a nice orofit yippy happy coupponing

Dianne

Sorry to say, but the $10 ECB for Oil of Olay products is for a $25 purchase and not $20.

Thanks to this great site I saved a bundle today. I left with $28 cash and $12 in RR & ECB. I came home with $12 cash and $17 RR & ECB and approximately $90 worth of purchases. I also tried a new CVS where the cashier & manager were so accommodating and nice (I originally tried to get the Oil of Olay ECB with $20 worth of products, so it had to be voided, but they were so very patient about it). I know where I will be CVS shopping from now on. Happy bargain hunting everyone!

CiCi

There is also a printable .75 coupon for huggies wipes on coupons.com.

Christa

Christina,

I signed up for a CVS card(filled out the brochure) inside the store about 5-6 weeks ago and I have never gotten a coupon by email either, so I called CVS today 1-800-746-7287. They registered my card over the phone (seemed like cashier activated my card at register, but the brochure never got to the right people to get my info – mailing address, email, etc.) So then they transferred me to the ECB dept and they issued a $ 4 coupon on my card that will print in the next 48 hrs at the store I shop at most often. So I don’t have to purchase $20 to use it, I just got a $4 coupon to use on any purchase. (as a courtesy for the mistake) So don’t wait too long, go ahead and call.

Christa

My family is camping at Stone Mtn this week, so I did my deals at their CVS today. It was great! Male cashier didn’t even know what ECB’s were (he just knew them as Easy Care Bucks), he says he just throws them away. I sat and explained to him that he was throwing away money! He saw my total go from around $ 70 to $ 7, after coupons and ECB’s. He was amazed!

Used the Huggies Natural Fit coupon on regular diapers.

The Razor deal (buy skintimate 1st transaction) then this as 2nd transaction – this CVS had refills with $ 3 peelies on them! So with B1G1 and coupons, I got 2 razors and 2 refills for $ 3.49.

I went to CVS yesterday and purchased $18.49 worth of P&G products..if I go back today and get a secret deodorant will I get the free twin pack of toothpaste or did this transaction need to be completed all at once to get the toothpaste?

Rebecca

When you say repeat a transaction 5 times, do they let you do 5 separate transaction right in a row without giving you a hard time? I am new to this and am trying to come up with a plan to get started. Also, do they sell the Sunday paper with the coupons? If so, do they put it out on Saturday night to buy like the grocery stores do? Thank you for your help!

Kim

I love your site and was so excited to try my hand at CVSing, but I think I messed up. I purchased huggies diapers – $10
similac formula 2/$10.00 3 Johnson’s products 3.00 each and 6 revlon lip glosses 7.99 each BOGO. I had the following coupons, no ECB’s yet
3 $1.00 off coupons for Revlon items
$1.00 off Johnson product
.75 off Johnson product
.75 off Johnson product
$3.00 off gift check from Similac
3.99 for Eclipse gum no coupon.

I ended up spending OOP $47.00.

How should I have done this transaction to maximize my savings.

I want to go back and buy the puff tissues for .99 and repeat the baby items to get an extra $10.00 ECB.

Kim

Oh I forgot I have a $3.00 off Huggies coupon for natural Fit diapers and still was OOP $47.00.

Erica

Okay, I posted a few days ago that CVS wouldn’t let me use the internet printed coupons from the veri-Fi website (the J&J and $3 Huggies Qs) saying the site was compromised. So we call CVS customer service and they say it is now CORPORATE policy that NO CVS will accept internet printed coupons. Why am I the only one having this issue come up?

Amy

Jenny I need help! I received a $15 off $75 purchase that expires 4/14. I want to use it for next weeks ad (softsoap and colgate deals – MM with cpns and ECBs). Will the price of B1G1 items both count towards the $75 total or just one? I’m trying to create a plan with the least OOP possible!

Sandy Myers

Where can I find the $120 Savings Booklet? Also, are there answers to the comments listed at the bottom of each blog? I am really enjoying all the coupon info you share. I have saved a lot of money for my family. Thanks!

Christa

Sandy, I think Jenny has stated the $ 120 savings book is for those that were couponing in Jan, we can’t get anymore.

Rebecca, The sunday paper with coupons is NOT sold until Sunday morning. The best deal is getting a Double paper for $ 2.50. It is getting 2 papers with both papers having coupon inserts. 2 regular papers would cost you $ 4, and they would have same coupons as a Double for $ 2.50.

Christa

Rebecca, yes, you can do 5 transactions – what I do, is I immediately tell the cashier that I am a ECB user and I start my transactions. (the cashier will know with you saying that, that you probably plan on having more than 1 transaction) Then if someone comes up behind me in line, I finish the transaction I am on and let that person in front of me. Gives me a chance to recollect my thoughts and the deals I am doing and then start back again when I know that I’m not causing anyone to wait long.

Christa

Kim, CVS will allow you only to do diaper deal 1 time. It won’t print an ECB again.

If you had more Revlon coupons, you could have used them. Just because 2nd item is free, you can still use a coupon. That lowers the price of the 1 you are paying for by having 2 coupons off the purchase of 1 product.

The Revlon deal, you just bought big priced items.

Christa

Jenny, wanted you to know that I reviewed all the Revlon prices and the nail polish is the cheapest item for $ 4.99 a bottle. Nothing cheaper than that.

This was my first time CVSing so I was very nervous as to how it would pan out. I ended up getting 8 big containers of Pringles for $.04!!!! I was SHOCKED. I used some ECB from my first transaction and had 4 QP’s for $1.00 off two cans Pringles (they were $.88 a can) so I am going back right now and buying 4 more!!!! I am so excited!!!

Jill

I had the same issue with Coke rewards. I sent an email using the “contact us” link. The refunded my account within 2 days! I am happy to say that today I tried “purchasing” the coupons with my points again, and had no problems. I have 3 coupons and am getting ready to go do the coke deal- after ECB and coupons, they should be 3 12-pks/ $5!!! Great deal, I will advise if I have any problems with the deal.

Shannon

Here is my CVS deal for the week. I am so excited because this is the best I have done in a while. I had gotten out of the CVS habit. But, I am back with a vengeance! Two Covergirl make-up, Two Glade room fresheners (the expensive ones that were on sale last week I took a raincheck for), and one Dial hair/body wash…subtotal…$37.47 after coupons and CVS bucks…$8.49 which came to $10.57 with tax. I got back $13.00 in CVS bucks which means I made…$2.43!! YAY

Shannon
Congrats!
I am still very very new at this CVSing and have not made any money per se, but I did get 12 cans of Pringles for a total of $.07!!! That’s pretty cool to me! And I also got free Excedrin because it was on sale for $1.99 and I had a $2.00 coupon… You are my inspiration though I need to work harder and get paid for things!

Shannon

Awww…thanks! I actually saved over $70.00 on my bill at bi-lo today, too. That’s bonus card and coupon savings. Then, I got two coupons for a free gallon of milk. Still spent $95.00 though. Maybe I will do better next time…lol.

Cristina

I got a $20 off $100 coupon from CVS today. Any advice on how to spend it?

Christina

Christa thanks for the advice. I called CVS and w/in 48hrs I should have my coupon.
Question…what’s the best way to switch prescriptions over? Is there a coupon for doing this?

Hi, I'm Jenny!

I'm a stay at home mom of five girls. I started couponing with a lot of skepticism but was quickly saving our family over $400 a month! Now my goal is to make couponing easy and fun for everyone to save at least 50% off their household needs every week.
